Summary

The dev branch no longer exists on GitHub, so every URL that pointed at it returns 404. That currently shows up as three broken images on the stac 1.5.0 pub.dev listing (banner, login screenshot, contributor banner), a broken preview image on the VS Code Marketplace listing, dead links on docs.stac.dev, and broken welcome-screen images in the live playground.

This PR audited every link in the READMEs, docs, skills, and changelogs and fixes everything that was broken.

Changes

Dead dev branch URLs → main

  • packages/stac/README.md: login screenshot, Contributing link, contributor banner. The screenshot now uses a raw file URL instead of a blob page so pub.dev's image proxy can serve it.
  • docs/introduction.mdx, docs/dsl.mdx, docs/widgets/icon.mdx, docs/widgets/circle_avatar.mdx, docs/tools/vscode.mdx, tools/stac-vscode/README.md
  • stac_playground/lib/app/cubit/home_cubit.dart and stac_playground/web/index.html: runtime welcome-screen images and social preview images
  • packages/stac_logger/pubspec.yaml: repository link shown on pub.dev

Root README symlink

  • README.md is a symlink to packages/stac/README.md, but its target string ended in a newline byte, which left it dangling on local checkouts. Recreated without the newline.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md now links to the package README file directly, since GitHub's blob view shows a symlink as a bare "Symbolic link" page rather than rendering the target.

Docs links

  • docs/widgets/table.mdx: three links still pointed at the old styles_and_attributes/ folder (404). Now /styles/....
  • docs/styles/border.mdx, docs/styles/border_side.mdx, docs/widgets/clip_rrect.mdx: links carried a .md suffix, which Mintlify serves as the raw-markdown LLM export instead of the rendered page. Now root-relative page links.
  • docs/widgets/carousel_view.mdx: Flutter API link pointed at a nonexistent widgets/Carousel-class page. Now material/CarouselView-class.html.
  • docs/changelog.mdx: linked twitter.com/StacDev, which is not an existing account. Now x.com/stac_dev, matching the README.

Verification

  • Every replacement URL was fetched and returns 200.
  • A link check over all README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, docs/**/*.mdx, docs.json, and skills/** files after the change reports 0 broken internal links, 0 missing navigation pages, 0 bad anchors, and no failing external URLs.
  • dart format reports no changes for the edited playground file.

Follow-up (not in this PR)

The pub.dev and VS Code Marketplace listings serve the README as published, so their broken images remain until a new version of stac and of the extension is released.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated documentation links to use current paths and the main branch.
    • Corrected Flutter API references and cross-links across widget and style documentation.
    • Updated social media references from Twitter to X.
    • Refreshed README, preview image, and example asset links.
  • Chores

    • Updated project repository metadata and playground asset references to the main branch.

The dev branch no longer exists on GitHub, so every README, docs, playground,
and pubspec URL that pointed at it returned 404. Point them all at main and
use raw file URLs for images so pub.dev's image proxy can serve them.

Also:
- recreate the root README.md symlink without the trailing newline that left
  it dangling on local checkouts
- point the CONTRIBUTING README link at the package README file
- fix docs links to the renamed styles folder and drop .md suffixes so
  Mintlify serves the rendered page instead of the raw markdown export
- correct the CarouselView API link and the X handle in the changelog
